I'm a NYC exterior with a creamy midwest interior

Last week I read Big Little Lies by an Australian author, Liane Moriarty. It was a very good book. I could see the Annunciation families, and before that the Hale families, all lined up judging in their judgy parent way. The book is about three kindy mothers in a small coastal town called Pirriwee. Maddy … [Read more…]

It takes a propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin based liquid which is mixed with any amount of nicotine, or none, and food grade flavoring.

I haven’t written in a long time and I was thinking about people like Stapleman, who write a lot on Facebook as a status and in comments, they write so much they’d have a book out if they were more disciplined. Of course that whole discipline thing also affects me! I was on eBay, ready … [Read more…]

The book blurb was good, so I took this book out of the library. Tamoxifen hot flashes, mastectomy, reconstruction, breast cancer etiquette, Frankenboobs, bras with special attachments—Margaret Lesh shares all in her funny, heartfelt collection of essays, anecdotes, and life lessons from the perspective of a two-time breast cancer survivor. She’ll tell you when it’s … [Read more…]

Due to all the nagging that I go back to chemo, I switched oncologists. This one doesn’t have slapstick humor like Bloom, which in all honesty I can’t stand. Life is too short to think I’ll be seeing the same oncologist for ten years (knock on wood) and have to fake laugh when I don’t … [Read more…]

Today was chemo, but my neutraphil levels are low so the plan is Neupogen shots and then chemo. I had a shot today. I will have one tomorrow and one on Monday and Katy hopes my levels are good on Tuesday so I can have chemo. That delays the bi-lateral another week. We’re slowly creeping … [Read more…]

A GF showed me an online therapy group. I read a bunch yesterday as a non-memebr. They should fix those permissions.bI’m an anxious person. There have certainly been times in my life where I have wanted to pull a Sylvia Plath, definitely not a Virginia Wolff, albeit I do like water. That being said, today … [Read more…]

13 November 2013 this was my diary entry, and I wonder why I got Stage 3C cancer? Not a surprise after reading this. I had completely forgot about that awful lunch at Salut. Here goes: I’ve had wicked headaches this week and anaphylactic shock. I bought bagels on Sunday. I asked the clerk what was … [Read more…]

I live in a city filled with Muslims. They never bothered me when I was in Morocco, but here in the states, in full cover, almost hitting me with their car bothers me. Then I go to London and I see the Islamist Fundamentalists screaming for the death of the Jews with a protest off … [Read more…]
